At River Valley Doctors, we know that children’s health can be both rewarding and worrying for parents. To support families, Dr Laura Biffin has written a new book: Common Childhood Complaints: A GP’s Guide for Parents.

Drawing on years of experience caring for children in Singapore, Dr Biffin crafted this guide to help parents navigate the common health issues little ones often face — including colds, ear infections, tummy bugs, and head lice. The book offers clear explanations of symptoms, possible causes, and most importantly, practical steps you can take at home to ease discomfort.

It also highlights when professional medical attention is crucial. Above all, Dr Biffin reminds parents to trust their instincts — more often than not, parents who feel something is wrong are right.

Whether you are a new parent or simply looking for reliable, accessible medical advice, this book aims to provide knowledge and reassurance at your fingertips.
